Could it be true? Can I really make bread, cake and muffins in minutes? This book seemed perfect for me and I was very excited to try it. I made about a dozen different recipes and I was horribly disappointed. Horribly! Everything turned out gummy and spongy and reeked of overcooked scrambled eggs. I'm not sure why the recipes didn't work for me, I used the same brands that were recommended in the book and I measured carefully. I finally figured out that I needed to either cut way back on the wet ingredients or increase the dry ingredients. I really don't mind playing around with recipes but I buy cookbooks to eat. And if I can't eat it without fixing the recipe first, it's useless to me.

But I really liked the idea of microwave baking and I wasn't ready to give up.
